In English: Thanks Doc, here are the first trials painting the hull and cabin, if they are OK I will try to to get a better finish, I am not good at painting...I defend myself!!!!!!@Mimmo: I colori vanno bene, devi provare di usare lining tape, per esempio di Tamiya per perfezionare le linee - the colours are OK, you should try to use lining tape, for example by Tamiya, in order to get perfect lines. ^^^Arno

In English: Here are my modifications. I remade the two decks using styrene sheet 4109 Novelty with groove spacing. Unfortunately the paint I applied was not nice, so I covered the decks using wooden planking which satisfied me, I will paint them using teak stain. I will paint the cabin in white as this will give a nice contrast. I have used Tamiya lining tape and the lines went much better but I still have to eliminate some blemishes.Bye until next time and if you can give any advice, it will be much appreciated. @Mimmo:

In English: Good morning, first trials to paint the deck, I have made a first layer of Teak, then a second one will follow and after that I will apply linseed oil with a stamp made from cloth and finally I will finish it off using very fine steel wool. Until next time@Mimmo: Preferirei un vernice trasparente per proteggere il ponte, cosi è impermeabile sicuramente - I would prefer a clear varnish to protect the deck, just to make sure it is waterproof

In English: Good morning and hello everybody, the Crete is short before completion, she is practically finished only the prop missing, but now that I have returned from my holidays I will continue the interrupted dialogue with Deans M. At the moment I will show photos of the model which will be followed by a small summary.I thank all of you who have helped me and followed this adventure

In English: the latest details which I did wrong before, the steering wheel is missing as the one that came with the kit is bigger than the dashboard. I remade the windscreen successfully and I have put black plastic into the window frames.

In English: Over here unfortunately we do not have ponds for modellers, I will have to sail her at the Lago di Garda (i.e. Lake Garda), but as it is quite cold at the moment I will wait for better times.Thank you but having finished her is also a merit of your patience you had translating me and pushing me into the right direction with hints and critics. Thank you so much. The only thing that concerns me is that I have to intensify my English language skills as I am not certain if I can can find such a kind person like you in the future.

Thanks a lot as well to Ron for the hints he gave me concerning glues.

@Mimmo: Grazie mille per queste parole! Per me è un grande piacere di aiutarti. E posso praticare la lingua Italiana - Thank you so much for your kind words! It is a great pleasure for me to help you. And I can practice the Italian language
